Best Eyeshadow Palettes for Fall 2017

Best Eyeshadow Palettes for Fall 2017

Wycon Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, October 17, 2017

My favourite eye makeup for this time of the year involves orange, and ruddy hues. And, we've seen a plethora of palettes with those shades recently. To the extent where you might as well label burnt orange the eyeshadow colour of the year.
I've picked my favourite cruelty-free eyeshadow palettes in terms of pigmentation, performance, and shade choices, and have swatches and eye makeup looks for each palette - do watch this video, give me a thumbs-up, and subscribe to my channel. 


There are older releases in here, such as Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance, and newer launches such as TheBalm's Nude Beach, reviewed here. All palettes mentioned in this video are cruelty-free.

I prefer the burnt-orange/ruddy palette to the beige and brown based neutrals that were in vogue not so long ago. The former adds a bit of interest to my skintone, while remaining subtle enough for day-wear.

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette vs Semi-Sweet vs Chocolate Bar Swatches

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette vs Semi-Sweet vs Chocolate Bar Swatches

Valentine's Day Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, February 12, 2016

Despite being torn by the idea of more chocolate-scented eyeshadows - in cute heart packaging, to boot - I had made up my mind to skip the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette and wait for their Sweet Peach palette instead. But it was among my Christmas prezzies. Far be it from me to look a gift palette in the mouth.
This is the third chocolate-themed eyeshadow palette from Too Faced. Their Chocolate Bar (reviewed here) and the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar (reviewed here) palettes are firm favourites of mine, especially the caramel-hued Semi-Sweet Palette.

Happy New Year, people! I hope we all have an amazing year ahead in which happy memories are made, goals are accomplished, dreams come true, and life is mostly pleasant and hassle-free.
In 2015, I was lucky to find my HG foundations - full coverage, matte finish, great staying power. Both drugstore and higher end. About five of them are HG, each serving a different purpose, as you will see.

Happy New Year's Eve! I am staying indoors for the first time in years because the breakout I thought was acne is actually an infection I caught after travelling to flood-infested areas three weeks ago. My GP did a swab and culture - I'm running a temperature and have withdrawn from public life for the next three weeks.
This was one of the most difficult posts of 2015 for me - narrowing down my favourite eyeshadow palettes of the year to just 10. I had to leave out some favourite staples such as Cargo Cosmetics Summer in the City and MUA Spring Break.

Scroll down for the list of my 10 favourite eyeshadow palettes for 2015.

With all the Holiday parties coming up, it is time to step out of the comfort zone and spice up the makeup to look vibrant and festive. I have not been brave enough to ditch the dusty rose lipstick yet - next time, I promise! - but made myself reach for magenta eyeshadow, a colour I have not worn before. This look features my favourite lipstick of 2015.

Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? I had a relaxing time at my grandparents' place, eating without a care, forgoing exercise, not bothering to finish any of the weekend tasks in my planner, reading children's books and having long lie-ins. It was - and still is - pouring down and the roads are flooded, so the lethargy continues.
For a while now, I have wanted to experiment with orange eyeshadow, but without seeming too Summery and bright. Orange - and yellow - is not a colour my yellow-toned skin can pull off easily. So I decided to combine it with plummy, Fall-appropriate eyeshadow and a subtle lip.
